Games that deserve film adaptations.

[Speedball]

This thread is simple just list which games deserve to be adapted to film(as long as Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson stay away of course).

The Legend of Zelda
The Shadow of the Colossus
Kingdom Hearts (CGI)
Freelancer
Final Fantasy (Live Action with the Style of the first games)
Metal Gear(As long as Kojima Directs)
Prince of Persia
Beyond Good and Evil (Use the story of the first game in the first film, then expand upon it in the sequel film).
Metroid
Splinter Cell

They should do a proper DOOM movie, Phobos/Deimos-Hell, demons and zombies,you know, DOOM? Although I didn't mind the movie we got.

They should do a proper Resident Evil movie, base it off the first game in the mansion and whatnot, that would work. In fact, it would be downright scary, just don't let Paul get near it, and don't even consider Uwe.

With those two thoughts put aside,

1) Starcraft
2) Half-Life
3) Quake

Of course this is wishful thinking

Ninja Gaiden live action. and get PJ or Guillermo del toro to direct.

Half-Life would be amazing on film.
I think Capcom expressed some interest in restarting the Resident Evil series, even though the first on isn't over yet

 

[Kroc1138]

The Only two I would Love to see are:
Halo (which is in the works)
Legend of Zelda

 

[Poetic Chaos]

The ultimate would be War Craft based on the first 2 games.

 

[Kroc1138]

Double post.

 

[U.S War Machine]

Super Mario Bros.-But it should be animated

 

[Majik1387]

Well from your list:
The Legend of Zelda
Kingdom Hearts (CGI)
Prince of Persia
Metroid

But I also want a proper Resident Evil series, even though I like the ones we have now.

Also:
Crazy Taxi
Grand Theft Auto series

shadow hearts

 

[XCharlieX]

Final Fantasy 7. I wish there was a live action of that. Would need some simplification but it could be quite cool.

 

["Iron Man"]

Half-Life series (would just be soooo great)

Final Fantasy live action series...1-12 (or however many they make)

Halo series(Peter Jackson should direct....since he's producing and is just so great)

The Legend of Zelda series (but who would play Link?)

God of War 1-3 (this trilogy would be the best game-to-film adaption ever!)

Grand Theft Auto series

 

[ampersand]

Prince of Persia starring Sayid from LOST.

Prince of Persia starring Sayid from LOST.

Naveen Andrews looks NOTHING like the Prince.

 

[Two-Face]

Max Payne

 

["Iron Man"]

Max Payne would be interesting as a film.

I thought I read somewhere that 20th Century Fox has the right to a Max Payne film.

No games should be made into films.

It just does not work.

Games are action based. They are about interaction. Films are narrative based, they are about story.

 

[Majik1387]

The Legend of Zelda series (but who would play Link?)

Anyone besides Orlando Bloom. Nothing against Bloom but people will think him as Link will be just like Legolas.

 

["Iron Man"]

I pretty much agree.

Hollywood just ran out of original ideas.

What do we get? Remakes, films based off games, etc.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I'd like to see a Knights of the Old Republic mini-series done (with the same sort of production value as the Dune series on Sci-Fi)

 

[ampersand]

Naveen Andrews looks NOTHING like the Prince.

Nothing?

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Stories are stories. Who cares what medium they originate from.

Heres the thing though... hollywoods into the whole fad of treating game ideas as if they were empty games padded out and slapped on film. They havent really got a person to give lots of effort to it and create based on the characters in the games. AVP: good idea.. it got treated piss poor.

 

[Arcturus]

I'd like to see a CGI movie of Sonic the Hedgehog on big-screen, that would be neat-o.
